AS to the present condition of Democracy
and what it is doing, Gen. Black, Commits
sioner of Pensions, gives picture in re-
cent letter TO Allen G. Thurman, which is
calculated to rejoice the heart of every one to
whom success is dear. Said he;
IA triumphant Democracy administers the
affairs of the Republic. Quietly but positive
ly the reforms that have long been demanded
by the people so far as the administrative
branch of the Government is concerned, are
in vigorous effect. Economy and Law are the
standards ofofficial action. craftsmanship does
not now throw its sword into the scales of
Justice. Submission to assessments by public
officials for partisan purposes is not q condi-
ton of public service. Contracts are not let
TO the highest partisan bidder and the public
lands are safe within the pale ofthe statutes. !"
What more could be said in behalf of the
great party which has brought about these
things in the brief space oftwentytwo months?

Fatal ranie at a Theatre.

A fatal panic took place at q ball in Princes
street, Spitalfields, London, on Tuesday night
last. An entertainment was in progress and
the hall was crowded. A man and woman
quarreled ON the street, near the main door
way of the ball. The man used violence and
the woman sereamed. The scream was heard
and taken for cry of fire, and others Joined
10 the cry. This created panic in the hall, and
the entire audience rushed towards the main
entrance. Women and children we're run over
aud crushed beneath the tread of the frantic
crowd. Seventeen dead bodies were found
inside the theatre when the rush was over,
twelve women, three boys. one girl, and one
man. They we're al dfeadfplly crushed and
mangled. The door was tep feet vide ead
swung both ways, but the crowd from the
gallery met the crowd from the inside Of the
theatre, at the main door, and there the fatal
struggle took place. The scene, after the
dead bodies were recognized, was heartrend-
ing. Screaming women AND Relatives Of The
deceased hung around the building oil night,
while the building itself was in the possession
of the police.

Not Alive to Their Interests.

Farmers are said 10 be accustomed to COM
plain of taxes. But the late farmers conven-
ton did not seem to be afraid of taxation in
the least. Senator Aliens report in favor of
taxing mortgages, which would have lightened
the burden on land in this State, by some two
hundred millions, was voted down by large
majority. And resolution in favor. of tar
if for revenue instead of high tariff which
cripples commerce and trade and tends to
keep down the price of grain, was tabled until
the next convention. These two subjects, OF
the most pressing necessity to farmers, were
the very matters, of all others, to receive
their adverse action. They should not COM
plain any more of taxes or of the low price of
cereals. Senator Allen, of Hartford, seems
to have had the more intelligent appreciation
of taxation We think they could not do
better than to study up on these subjects be-
fore the meeting of the next convention in
December. Farmers must be politicians, to
some extent at least, if they would fully ap-
preciate their true interests. Henry George,
the New York socialist, would lay all the tax
,,non tho land and tax nothing -alse The
